Etymology
'meticulously-furnished' originates from the English word 'meticulous,' which comes from the Latin word 'meticulosus,' meaning 'fearful' or 'timid,' and 'furnished,' from the Old French 'furniss-,' meaning 'to provide or supply.'
'meticulous' changed from the Latin 'meticulosus' to the English 'meticulous,' and 'furnished' evolved from the Old French 'furniss-' to the modern English 'furnished.'
Initially, 'meticulous' meant 'fearful' or 'timid,' but over time it evolved to mean 'showing great attention to detail.' 'Furnished' has largely retained its meaning of 'provided with furniture.'
